Project-Based Learning■ TK and Kindergarten students have been working on a literacy unit around Eric

Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Students have learned their days of the week, numbers, and food. They have created created their own caterpillars, labeled numbers, days, and foods, and even wrote an opinion piece about what they would choose to eat if they were a caterpillar.

■ First and Second Graders have been working on animal research projects. Students are gathering information about an animal of their choice. They are categorizing the information based on the animal’s body, food, habitats, family, and actions. Students will write informational pieces that teach others as well as include expository diagrams.

■ Third Graders have just completed a Life Science unit that included animal and plant adaptations, and Earth’s biomes. Students researched a specific biome and taught others about the biome’s animals, plants, landforms, climate, and changes.

■ Fourth Graders have just completed a unit on Native Americans. They read and responded from a number of different sources. We utilized information from discoveryeducation.com, online.kidsdiscover.com, raz-kids.com, and readworks.org

Classroom to Classroom Connection■ We are in constant communication with your child’s general education

teacher!– At the TK and Kindergarten level, we are supporting the colors,

letters, and sight words of the week here in ELD too. – We plan lessons using raz-kids.com alongside the First and Second

Grade teachers, focusing on specific phonetic patterns and reading comprehension skills.

– Phonics lessons in ELD are aligned to current SRA spelling units that Third Grade students use in their general education classroom.

– Science and Social Studies projects are connected to current units of study for Third and Fourth Graders who come to ELD twice a day.

– Wordly Wise Vocabulary lessons are taught in ELD to support learning in the Fourth Grade classrooms.

Report Card Grade for ELs英語語言發展■ General Education teachers provided grades for your children by compiling pieces of data

from a variety of sources. The ELD teacher provided grades for students who attend ELD. Teachers used these grades as one piece of data when formulating final report card grades.

■ ELD Grading System: – EM Emerging 萌芽期 : typically used for students who score 1-2 on the CELDT. These

students are Beginner-Early Intermediate ELs whose English language skills are continuing to emerge.
